An hour phone call between Trump and Putin. There is discussion of Iran and Ukraine, but not the USA stop at armaments. Netanyahu expected in Washington
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have felt again. According to Moscow, The Russian president would have said “ready to continue the negotiations with Kiev”while specifying that the Kremlin “will not give up on its goals”. The two leaders also spoke of the Iranian dossier, with the Tsar who would have invoked a diplomatic solution to the problem. All this, while the presidents would not have addressed the question of the partial stop to the sending of American armaments to Ukraine. The moment this article was published, the American version of the interview had not yet been widespread.
The new phone call, which lasted about an hourbetween Trump and Putin took place a few days after the Pentagon had suspended the supply of some missiles in Kiev, citing concerns about its ammunition supplies. A decision is certainly not appreciated by Volodymyr Zelensky, who had however said to be available to “buy” air defense systems from the United States. The point is that the political relationship between the American and Russian president highlights a growing interconnection between the Ukrainian and the Middle Eastern crisis.
Trump and Putin are in fact playing the bank on the Iranian dossier underground. Both do not want Tehran to close the Hormuz Strait. And both are contrary to the termination of cooperation between the Khomeinist regime and Aiea. On the other side, Trump wants to try to unhook as much as possible Moscow from Beijing, while the Kremlin needs not to lose further ground in the Middle Eastafter the fall of Bashar al Assad in Syria last year. Recall that, yesterday, the Times of Israel He reported about secret interviews in progress on Syria and Iran between Russia and Israel. In this regard, it is worth remembering that, next week, Benjamin Netanyahu is expected from Trump to Washington.
In this picture, The relationships between the two leaders appear particularly complex. And it is not at the clear moment if this new phone call will lead to significant turns. Saudi Arabia and Turkey look with interest in the developments of the Ukrainian diplomatic process. All this, while, in the background, the American will to relaunch the Abraham agreements: agreements that, in turn, connect to the theme of the reconstruction of Gaza, stands out. It is a dossier, the latter, which are significantly interested not only the Saudis and the Israelis, but also the Americans and the Russians themselves. In short, the relationship between Trump and Putin is inserted in a particularly complex picture. And it is not at the clear moment how it will develop in the near future.
